A comparison of the two Douluo, starting with Dragon God Douluo Yu Xiaogang.

After receiving a clear rejection from Yu Xiaogang, Chen Ming fell silent.

He wanted to change Silvermoon City, so that more people from ordinary backgrounds like himself could escape the persecution inflicted by the city's powerful figures.

But my talent is undeniable, and I'm already over fifty.

In an ordinary family, someone this age should be enjoying the company of their grandchildren and the joys of family life.

Why am I still staying in the Mountaineering Alliance?

Isn't it because he was persecuted back then that he doesn't want to see more people with the same ideals as him?

Chen Ming would never forget the tragic fact that he was the only one who survived among those who went into the mountains with him.

That image drove me, preventing me from leaving Silvermoon City despite being a level six individual with the qualifications to do so.

To put it bluntly, Chen Ming is prepared to dedicate his entire life to Silvermoon City.

The problem is, he really can't see a future.

The chaos in Silvermoon City, the deliberate indulgence of its powerful figures, and the malice emanating from the capital city behind it all.

Within the Mountaineering Alliance, a small organization, I am not yet the strongest.

Not to mention the entire Sun and Moon Continent.

I've always been just a nobody.

All I can do is recruit more Soul Masters for the Mountain Alliance, increasing the chances of survival for those who venture into the mountains.

Therefore, when he learned that Yu Xiaogang could bypass the brain fog, he disregarded the other party's status and extended an invitation to him.

Unfortunately, as I predicted, the other party did not agree.

Seeing Chen Ming fall silent, Yu Xiaogang didn't speak, but simply stood there quietly.

As a person of strong will, I will not let others' pitiful words change my life.

However, based on the information he gathered in Silvermoon City and his interactions with Chen Ming, Yu Xiaogang was able to roughly determine that the other party was a good person.

After a moment of silence, Yu Xiaogang spoke:

"You don't need to be so sad. The situation in Silvermoon City will change sooner or later."

"While I can't guarantee how much better Silvermoon City will become in the future, at least the unreasonable chaos here will definitely disappear."

As he spoke, Yu Xiaogang's gaze fell upon Xu Aoxin.

Seeing this, Xu Aoxin also offered words of comfort.

"Yes, you can rest assured about that. Among the current heirs to the throne, there are still some who care about ordinary people."

"Whether he ultimately succeeds in ascending the throne or not, the situation in Silvermoon City will definitely change once the new emperor takes the throne!"

Xu Aoxin's voice was firm, as if she were making a promise to Chen Ming, or perhaps to herself.

At this moment, she had made up her mind: if she were to one day seize the throne, she would change the chaotic state of Silvermoon City.

[If I fail in my bid for the throne, then allowing the Sun Moon Empire to refrain from going too far in some matters would be a bargaining chip for my complete surrender.]

Xu Aoxin believed that she could—no, she had to—become extremely powerful in the future.

Even if he became so powerful that his own brothers and sisters defeated him and became the new emperor, they wouldn't be able to completely ignore him.

Chen Ming silently watched Yu Xiaogang and Xu Aoxin.

Although I don't know the identities of the two people in front of me, their demeanor and talent clearly indicate that they come from prominent families.

[Now they're actually talking about the imperial heir, even saying that among the royal heirs, there's a type who cares about ordinary people.]

She even stated with absolute certainty that Silvermoon City would definitely change once the new emperor ascended the throne.

At that moment, a glimmer of hope inexplicably arose in Chen Ming's heart.

Given the other party's background, they probably weren't just saying it casually, right?

[So, does that mean there's really a possibility that the situation in Silvermoon City can change?]

"Are you telling the truth?"

Can the current situation in Silvermoon City really be changed?

Chen Ming's voice trembled slightly, carrying a pleading tone.

"Don't worry, I promise!"

[Xu Aoxin said in a heavy voice.]

"I swear by my martial spirit, the future of Silvermoon City will surely change!"

Xu Aoxin clenched her fists, her eyes sharper than ever before.

After hearing Xu Aoxin's words, Chen Ming no longer had any doubts.

[To swear an oath with one's own martial spirit—this is the heaviest oath on the Sun Moon Continent.]

[Because those who break this oath will never make any progress in their lives. Records even show that some people have sworn an oath using their martial spirit, but after reaching maturity, they broke their own oath.]

Then, to everyone's surprise, although that person's level didn't drop, he was no longer able to unleash his full potential.

It was precisely because of this example that the people of the Sun Moon Continent understood how solemn it was to swear an oath with their Martial Soul.

"Thank you, thank you so much, thank you so much..."

Chen Ming repeatedly expressed his gratitude to Xu Aoxin.

Regardless of who the other person is, their kindness is especially precious to the ordinary people of Silvermoon City.

Chen Ming's excitement remained unabated for a long time, so the group had to stop and rest for a while in the Wangshan Stone area.

Standing at the highest point, Yu Xiaogang sensed the elemental particles in the world, deciding which direction to proceed in.

Just then, Xu Aoxin arrived at Yu Xiaogang's side.

"You looked great just now."

Yu Xiaogang exclaimed in admiration.

[Especially when he swore an oath with his martial spirit, his demeanor was truly awe-inspiring and upright.]

"...I never imagined I'd be so impulsive."

Xu Aoxin couldn't help but sigh.

Once the vow was made, there was no turning back.

The changes to Silvermoon City are something I must accomplish.

"Since you already decided to change, this vow is just to strengthen your resolve."

Yu Xiaogang shrugged.

【"Too"】

Xu Aoxin nodded.

Although swearing an oath with my martial soul was indeed impulsive, it will help me solidify my resolve.

[Because Xu Aoxin also didn't know what secrets were hidden within the Spirit Sea Mountains.]

Therefore, she couldn't guarantee that if she knew these secrets, she wouldn't think, like her father, that it was better to keep Silvermoon City in chaos.

At the same time, she was unsure whether, in the future struggle for the throne, she would gradually be corrupted by power and desire, becoming someone who forgot her current inner thoughts.

Therefore, having a vow is a good thing.

[At least with this constraint, no matter how I change in the future, my original aspirations will not change much.]

That's enough.

With this vow in mind, my future self will not be forced to give up on my principles because of troubles.

Some things, you should never give yourself the chance to overstep your bounds in the first place.
